Kirk Douglas: "The World Is In A Mess"

Kirk Douglas Issues Editorial on His 90th Birthday, Saturday, December
9th
Saturday December 9, 9:00 am ET
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- My name is Kirk Douglas. You may
know me. If you don't ... Google me. I was a movie star and I'm Michael
Douglas' dad, Catherine Zeta-Jones' father-in-law, and the grandparents
of their two children. Today I celebrate my 90th birthday.
I have a message to convey to America's young people. A 90th birthday
is special. In my case, this birthday is not only special but
miraculous. I survived World War II, a helicopter crash, a stroke, and
two new knees.
It's a tradition that when a "birthday boy" stands over his cake he
makes a silent wish for his life and then blows out the candles. I have
followed that tradition for 89 years but on my 90th birthday, I have
decided to rebel. Instead of making a silent wish for myself, I want to
make a LOUD wish for THE WORLD.
Let's face it: THE WORLD IS IN A MESS and you are inheriting it.
Generation Y, you are on the cusp. You are the group facing many
problems: abject poverty, global warming, genocide, AIDS, and suicide
bombers to name a few. These problems exist, and the world is silent.
We have done very little to solve these problems. Now, we leave it to
you. You have to fix it because the situation is intolerable.
You need to rebel, to speak up, write, vote, and care about people and
the world you live in. We live in the best country in the world. I
know. My parents were Russian immigrants. America is a country where
EVERYONE, regardless of race, creed, or age has a chance. I had that
chance. You are the generation that is most impacted and the generation
that can make a difference.
I love this country because I came from a life of poverty. I was able
to work my way through college and go into acting, the field that I
love. There is no guarantee in this country that you will be
successful. But you always have a chance. Nothing should interfere with
it. You have to make sure that nothing stands in the way.
When I blow out my candles -- 90! ... it will take a long time ... but
I'll be thinking of you.

Shut the Fuck up you stroked out old man. Ship him to a nursing home

Maybe that all started the day that Natalie Wood was drugged and raped
as a teenager.

I've heard most of my life about a murder coverup by the studio system.
If there are facts to be made known, when Douglas is gone, maybe
somebody will speak up.

Did Linseed Lohan steal Kirk's Blackberry? This seems like a new trend,
loose-associating celebs issuing unasked for monologues on the world's
plight.

You're mixing him up with Ronald Reagan.

I just wish he, Tony Curtis and Ernest Borgnine would get together in
the recording studio and do a joint commentary for a DVD reissue of THE
VIKINGS for its 50th anniversary (coming up in less than two years).

What does that matter if he can kick my ass? The point is he had his
moment in the sun and shouldn't be comparing the 50's to now. Were you
in Sparta?

How many women do you think the beloved Kirk Douglas took advantage of?

Tough guy? Ronald Reagan? Reagan would alway have to "ask Mommy",
when he could remember where she was.
